Description

Furman students install a rain garden with a grant from the National Wildlife federation. Rain gardens are deep depressions filled with layers of sand and gravel. Plants tolerant of drought and flooding are used to filter the water contained in the garden. After a storm event, water is held in the garden and percolates more slowly and naturally into the lake.
